The mode has become so popular, in fact, some players have complained over killer queues lasting longer than 30 minutes. With so many fans loving this new mode, some have wondered if it&#8217;ll become permanent. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately<strong>, Dead by Daylight&#8217;s 2v8 mode isn&#8217;t currently permanent<\/strong>. For now, players can enjoy the mode until 8 August &#8211; the limited-time mode kicked off on 25 July, and developers let fans know it&#8217;d be available for around two weeks. Behaviour has not made an announcement stating that they&#8217;ll extend the mode, much less make it permanent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/DROfhdiGH4H3MOgHmkFKA7TNT5JEK-bwR93mnKXK5Rs\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82Njk3OTkwMzZlNmQ5LURlYWQgYnkgRGF5bGlnaHQgMnY4LnBuZw\" alt=\"dead by daylight 2v8\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Dead by Daylight&#8217;s 2v8 mode pits 2 killers up against 8 survivors in a modified gameplay loop. (Picture: Behaviour Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>None of Dead by Daylight&#8217;s alternative game modes have become permanent, although developers have experimented with various game modes in the recent past &#8211; from Lights Out to My Little Oni, there&#8217;s been a ton of variety to choose from. Many fans would no doubt love to see an alternate game mode become permanent, whether that&#8217;s the new 2v8 mode or the previously successful Chaos Shuffle.<\/p>\n<p>While the 2v8 mode isn&#8217;t currently planned to be permanent, this could definitely change in the future given its popularity. Developers could even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/new-killers-2v8-mode\">add new killers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/2v8-mode-survivor-classes-killer-skills\">survivor classes<\/a>. For now, though, you&#8217;ll want to check out the 2v8 mode while you can and bring a few friends, since it&#8217;s going away on the 8th of August. (Even if the mode does become permanent, now&#8217;s your only chance to complete the 2v8 Tome!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dead by Daylight&#8217;s 2v8 mode has drawn in both dedicated players and newbies, letting players step away from the typical 4v1 gameplay loop and play&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12834,"featured_media":66184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dead-by-daylight","genre-horror","content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is Dead by Daylight&#039;s 2v8 Mode Permanent?
